January 2012 Newsletter will be coming soon.
Dance Wear & Shoe Sale

Sopilka has invited ELLIE back to the  Cultural Centre on Monday, January 16, 2012 to sell dance wear and shoes. With Zabava right around the corner, it is very important that all dancers have the proper footwear and tights for this event. Ellie will be setup and ready for sales by 5:00 p.m. Please make sure to stop by early and get everything you need. She will be packing up around 7:30 p.m. (or sooner if everyone comes early).

Footwear & Tights requirements are as follows:

Girls - Block Light Tan tights (for the little girls Ellie has been asked to bring in Mondor Light Tan also since this brand is less expensive).

Yellow, Green & Blue Groups: red ballet slippers for girls; black ballet slippers for boys.

Red Group: beige jazz elasti-booties for the girls; black jass elasti-booties for boys.

Black Group: red paris teacher shoes for girls (Polissian dance); black jazz elasti-booties for boys. Black group girls also require black paris teacher shoes for the Buko Dance.

Ensemble: red boots for all and black paris teacher shoes for the girls.

Welcome Back

Here's to an exciting 2012 dance season!


Just a reminder to all parents that classes are in full swing starting Monday, January 9th.  There is also a General Meeting at the Cultural Centre starting at 7:15pm that same evening.  


With Zabava right around the corner, we still have a lot of work to do, so the more volunteers we have, the smaller and the easier the tasks become.  So please find time to attend this Monday's meeting and volunteer some time to make this Zabava a fantastic event!


Thank you,
Sandra
